THAT'S IT! ARSENAL HAVE SECURED THIRD! Tottenham's win counts for little as goals from Benayoun, Santos and Koscielny mean Arsenal seal their place in the Champions League Group Stages. They did it the hard way, but that's job done for this season.

90

WHAT A TACKLE GIBBS! That could just secure Arsenal third place. Billy Jones is sent through on goal but is stopped in his tracks by a magnificent challenge from the young left back.

VAN PERSIE OVER: Song plays in the Dutchman on the left, who contrives to blaze over.

The Golden Boot winner should have buried that. Van Persie could have sealed the season for Arsenal

FIVE MINUTES: That's how much injury time stands between Arsenal and a guaranteed place in next season's Champions League. Come on you Gunners.

88

WELL CLAIMED WOJCIECH: It's nervy viewing as Gibbs gives away a free-kick right on the edge of the box. Odemwingie clips it in but Szczesny is there to pluck the ball out of the air.

86

HEROIC FROM KOSCIELNY: Odemwingie slides the ball across for Fortune, who unleashes towards goal. But the Frenchman puts his body on the line to block.

Arsenal have gotten a bit on the back foot here and look a bit nervous. They are looking on the break and gettinga bit desperate

TENSE TIMES: Arsenal have five minutes left to keep hold of their slender advantage - but it's West Brom doing all the pushing. Sit tight boys.

ON COMES RAMSEY: The Welshman replaces the tireless Santos. He's had a good game on the left this afternoon.

If there's anytime to score @Persie_Official then it's right now, please please please, just one more time for us!!! #COYG

The intensity of this game is going down, and that is good for Arsenal -- as long as Arsenal retain what they have at the moment

KEEPBALL: Arsenal moving the ball around confidently now, and trying to hold on to possession to ease the tension and eat up time

61

OFF THE LINE! Van Persie hooks a goalbound header from Olsson off the line. Nervy times

OH IT'S TENSE: I said at the start of this commentary it could be unbearable tense and that is what it is proving to be. Can Arsenal hold their lead this time? Crazy game

ANOTHER COMEBACK! To be honest that goal was all about Fulop's sliced punch from a Van Persie corner, which dropped to Koscielny two yards out and he pokes home. Unbelievable

In all three Arsenal goals, Fulop has had an issue. Olsson got in his way and Fulop palmed it back.

GOAL! - Laurent Koscielny
2 : 3
GOOOAAALLLL!!! Koscielny pokes home from close range after another howler from Fulop

SANTOS JUST WIDE: The Brazilian takes aim from just outside the area and arrows a shot just wide of the far post

Santos is offering a lot from an offensive and a gambling perspective. And if the score stays the same, Arsenal are going to have to gamble

WE'RE BACK UNDERWAY: What a massive 45 minutes this is for Arsenal. Win and the planning for next season can start, anything else and it will be agonising next Saturday for the Champions League final

Substitution
ARSENAL CHANGE: Theo Walcott on for Tomas Rosicky at half time

Walcott's introduction means Gervinho moves to the left-hand side and Benayoun will move to a more central role, just ahead of Song and Coquelin

Need a huge second half lads. Dominating but so exposed at the back! More goals in this game for sure. #COYG

HALF TIME: West Brom 2-2 Arsenal

says:

It's not the worst position to be level at the half. Arsenal have been attacking and the chances have been there, but are vulnerable at the back. It is a massive 45 minutes coming up and it wil be heart-stopping if yoiu ask me

Adrian Clarke

Arsenal Player
says:

It was a great start from Arsenal - a perfect start. But then Arsenal went into their shell and West Brom came forward. They had a very free-flowing attack, and Arsenal's defense didn't know how to handle it

45

GERVINHO JUST WIDE! The Ivorian breaks up the right on the counter and gets into the area but fires inches wide of the near post

The ball actually went off the board into the back of the next from the other side - it fooled the Arsenal fans for a moment.

PRESSURE, PRESSURE: Arsenal trying to find a chink in West Brom's armour again, but no way through at present

Yellow Card
VAN PERSIE BOOKED: The skipper goes in late on McAuley and is booked

It was a misguided challenge, but not a red card. I think it is a sign of frustration at the treatment he's been getting

GOOD RECOVERY: Jenkinson tries an interception but misses out and West Brom break, but the right back and makes the tackle

ARSENAL ON TOP NOW: The goal was coming for Arsenal and now they are gaining a bit more confidence. Most of the game is being played in the West Brom half, but the visitors are a major threat on the break

I think Theo Walcott will be a factor in this game late on

LOVELY GOAL: Santos latched onto a mistake in the West Brom backline, beat his marker and hit a firm shot that Fulop couldn't keep out. Game on, and what a game

Arsenal are back in this game and they needed it. They needed someone with bravery and gumption to try something to get things going. It is an immense moment in Arsenal's season

BEACH BALL ALERT: There is a beach ball at the Arsenal end of the pitch. Let's hope for no repeat of what happened with Darren Bent against Liverpool

If body language tells you anything i like the cut of Arsenal's jib. They look spikey at the moment. There's a determination about Arsenal in these opening minutes

Kick Off
AND WE'RE OFF! Arsenal will kick from right to left in this first half, shooting away from the Arsenal fans

HERE THEY COME: It's now or never for Arsenal as the players step out on to the Hawthorns pitch. Their Champions League fate rests in their own hands, can they hold their nerve and claim the three points needed for third place?

TEN MINUTES TO GO: I don't know about the Arsenal dressing room, but the nerves are kicking in here in the press box. The players have trooped off after the pre-match warm up and it is nearly time for a game that could have far reaching consequences for the Gunners

Arsenal just have to cope with the nerves, cope with the pressure and press West Brom as much as possible.

PERFECT WEATHER: The Hawthorns is bathed in glorious sunshine and the pitch looks in good shape as well. Great conditions for football

ONLY ONE PAT RICE: The travelling Arsenal fans have been in fine voice so far this afternoon, and they have already serenaded the retiring Pat Rice in his final game as assistant manager
